During the Aug. 17 interview, the CNN host asked O'Donnell questions on a variety of topics raised in her book "Troublemaker," including her thoughts on masturbation and the military's Don't Ask/Don't Tell policy. O'Donnell finally had enough when Morgan asked her about gay marriage, and she walked off.

"I'm not being weird, you're being a little rude," she told Morgan before leaving the set.

O'Donnell explains to Guthrie that Morgan was engaging in a "very inappropriate, creepy line of questioning," and that's why she ultimately left.

O'Donnell has a controversial history including her notorious campaign ad with the opening line "I'm not a witch" -- referring to a 1999 appearance on
"Politically Incorrect" when she admitted she'd "dabbled" in witchcraft. In 1996, She also appeared on MTV's
"Sex in the '90s" and discussed anti-masturbation stance.

As for Morgan, he told
"Access Hollywood" he felt he was in the right. "It was a bizarre situation where I was asking her what I thought was a perfectly valid question," he said.
